After some speeches thanking our sponsors & volunteers, Officer Ervin Coffin drew the winning ticket. Congratulations to Mike Rush of Clyde River, our 2023 Dream Cottage Winner!  Mike bought his ticket in mid-July and when we talked to him on Draw Day, he mentioned he had been buying tickets for many years.
